Frame repair help.

I have seen frame repair write ups on others sections of frame but not this.

I am looking for ideas on how to fix this. It is the frame that the gas tank mounts to just behind the cab. It also holds that center bearing. I call it the OX bow because that is what it is shaped like.


My first though is find one on a junkyard truck and cut it out and weld it in.
My second though is use some tubular steel that I have and bent the same shape or just go straight across and figure out an alternative way of mounting the gas tank.

What are your thoughts?? Has anyone had to do this before??

Thanks for the link. It helped a great deal. Don't know why I didn't find it while searching through all these forums. Looks like I will probably go with the 4xinnovations crossmember. It is at a price that I could scrounge up the $$$ for.
